Oh Lordy this is a gorgeous book. I'm weeping, and I rarely do. I keep putting it down as I don't want it to end.

I suppose one could think of this beautiful novel as amazing fan fiction. Anyway, so far: the best descriptions of sex, childbirth, and the bubonic plague I've encountered in a very long while.

I'm grateful this Thanksgiving that Canadian Thanksgiving is not American Thanksgiving because I feel like boundaries are important in any troubled relationship

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

delicious word of the day: fastness
as in
"Disappearing as stealthily as stags from the dinner-table directly the meal was over, the eight sons and daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay sought their bedrooms, their fastness in a house where there was no other privacy to debate anything, everything"

Oregon Live: "Our reporters at the ICE building Thursday night counted several frogs, a unicorn, a polar bear, an axolotl, a raccoon, a peacock, a shark and a cat among about 100 regularly dressed people."

💚 to Portland.

I am fed up with the hierarchy of solitaire cards
Why is the king at the top and everything follows from HIM
WHY CAN'T I PUT A RED 7 ON A RED 8
What if I went like Queen, 10, 9, 8 AND IGNORED THE JACK

I'll be alright in a moment

We all don't talk enough about the Isley Brothers. Existing -- amazingly -- since 1954.

It's a long time since I've been involved with baseball (late 80s? Mookie Wilson?) but my lucky blue shoes and I are here for the Jays.

have decided arbitrarily that Art Bergmann's "Live it Up" has the best batch of rhymes in any 21st century lyric

"kids come in adulation / *expletive* grab yr close relations / handshakes come on graduation / every day is degradation day"
